: I'm having a problem getting openldap to work with SSL on RH 7.3. When I : use the dummy certificate that comes with 7.3 slapd starts fine; when I : create my own CA and certificate, it hangs.
Does your new cert have a passphrase on the private key? slapd may not have hung, per se, but -- like other apps which support SSL certs -- it could be waiting for someone to input a passphrase for the cert's key. I don't know offhand whether OpenLDAP supports putting the passphrase in a config file, or passing it via stdin. Otherwise, you could fire up slapd with copious debug output and/or run strace to see where it's hanging. As root, run: slapd -u ldap -d 255 -QM -- www.brandxdev.net C++ / Java / SSL ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
